🔴BREAKING: The President of #Georgia , Salome Zourabichvili, has pardoned Lazare Grigoriadis, a participant in last year's #NoToRussianLaw protests, who was sentenced to 9 years in prison
During a press conference with Irakli Kobakhidze, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz urged the Parliament of Georgia to consider the critical stance of the #EU and the Georgian public against the so-called #RussianLaw , saying they hoped last year that it would no longer be on #Georgia 's agenda
The family and lawyers of Lazare Grigoriadis appealed to President Salome Zourabichvili for a pardon.
Immediately after his sentencing at the city court on April 12 - over a year post-arrest - they submitted the application to the presidential administration.
